Our goal is to be in school on Monday. There is a considerable amount of work that has to take place with removing ice/snow in some areas and addressing a few HVAC issues. Maintenance and custodial staff will begin working on these areas of concern.

The district's goal is to notify everyone by 3:00 p.m. about school operations on Monday.

Attention Seniors: Please remember per SCCPSS board policy that 20 hours of community service is a requirement for graduation. All community service documentation must be turned in to your assigned school counselor by Monday, April 7, 2025. Seniors who do not complete this requirement will not be eligible for graduation, including participating in the graduation ceremony. Community Service documentation logs can be picked up in the school counseling center.
